Young Engineers Competition

Working with the younger generation is a high priority for IAgrE and we have a number of initiatives aimed at this group.

This year IAgrE have partnered with LAMMA to launch a Competition for Young Engineers - read more here

IAgrE promoted and ran a Young Engineers' Competition for many years aimed at students in both Secondary School and Further Education colleges.  Th ecompetition was sponsored by the Institution, the Douglas Bomford Trust, Autoguide and Bosch Rexroth.

In 2017 the competition was held at Kubota UK at their headquarters in Thame and a wonderful time was had by all who attended.  

We were delighted to that the 2018 Competition was hosted by Perkins Engines.  To read a report from the 2018 competition please go to the 2018 Young Engineers' Competition page

Students were asked to manufacture a remote or radio controlled vehicle that could tackle our competition track with a given set of wheels, battery and maximum dimensions.

Currently this competition is no longer active however if you have ideas on how to engage with young people and ethuse them about Agricultural Engineering please contact Sarah McLeod
